Tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell, whose Republican primary upset in Delaware's Senate race shocked the GOP, canceled appearances Sunday on two national news shows.
O'Donnell had been set to appear on "Face the Nation" on CBS and "Fox News Sunday."
Campaign spokeswoman Diana Banister cited scheduling conflicts and said O'Donnell needed to return to Delaware for commitments to church events and afternoon picnic with Republicans in a key county where she has solid backing.
"Tomorrow the priorities are back in Delaware," Banister said. "Those are people who supported her, who were very helpful to her in the campaign, and she feels obligated to be there and thank them."
Banister said she was unaware of the previous commitments when she booked O'Donnell for the shows. She said she canceled with Fox News late Friday and with CBS early Saturday.
"We felt really bad," she said, adding the campaign apologized profusely for canceling at the last minute.
Banister said O'Donnell would be pleased to appear on any Sunday news shows in the future.
Yeah, sure she will. The woman's not anywhere close to being ready for prime-time. She's not even close to being ready for FOX News softball interviews at this point. She's a raving lunatic, and she has zero defense for her whackjob statements over the last several years as an anti-masturbation, anti-feminist, Christian Dominionist nutcase.
The less national exposure she gets, the less chance of saying something completely stupid that will ensure Chris Coons buries her even in this climate toxic to Democrats.
Make no mistake, she's going back to the drawing board to get her message straight. She only has six weeks to try to deny she said any of the crazy stuff she said over the last ten years.

Haha what a silly bunt.
When the networks call, candidates jump.
If little Christine had sucked it up, taken a few lumps from Schieffer and agreed with the lies and slander fed to her by the interviewer on Fox News, she would have been officially initiated into the Village and treated as a serious person forever.
